Finch, who at 19 became the youngest council leader in the UK and represents Reform UK, published a letter on his social media accounts on Sunday, addressed to the Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, the Chief Constable of Warwickshire Police, Alex Franklin-Smith, and the chief executive of the council, Monica Fogarty.
He said Ms Fogarty had told him that Mr Kabir was an asylum seeker living in a house of multiple occupancy.
Residents had “very easily been able to join the dots together” and conclude that the men were asylum seekers, he said.
“Residents of Warwickshire can see they have not been told the full story,” he said.
“I am disgusted that one year on from the social unrest that we saw in parts of the UK in 2024, the Home Office and the police have clearly not learned any lessons from the handling of similar incidents last year.”
He added: “I strongly believe that the only risk to public order from this case in Warwickshire comes from the cover-up itself.”
In a statement, Warwickshire Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Seccombe said: “It is essential to state that policing decisions—such as whether to release details about a suspect—must follow national guidance and legal requirements.”
He added that he would not speculate on the personal circumstances of those involved while court proceedings were active.
